Shit Politicians Say...About Women's Rights

We'd hoped we'd heard the last of the insane comments from politicians about women's reproductive rights. But what started with Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comment continued with John Foster's insinuation that the "rape thing" is not an excuse for abortion. Like Tina Fey said, "If I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, Im going to lose my mind."

"In the emergency room they have whats called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out" - Texas state Rep. Jodie Laubenberg, on why there shouldn't be a rape or incest exception in Texas' sweeping anti-choice bills.

"Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful. They stroke their face. If they're a male baby, they may have their hand between their legs. If they feel pleasure, why is it so hard to believe that they could feel pain?" — current Republican Rep. Michael Burgess, arguing that male babies masturbate in utero.
